GREAT COURSE!!

It was about 45 minutes from Traverse City, but we’ll worth the drive. Probably the best layout I have played in the area and I have played them all. And the course was kept in impeccable shape.

Great Condition

We picked a nice warm morning to play. Course was in great condition for all the rain we've received lately. Fairways were in good condition as well as the greens. We did get wet before the round was over - very wet - but it was a warm rain. This is a nice looking course.

Would return

Pace was a bit slow on occasion but to be expected for a single. Elevation drop and climb can be difficult to judge at times .White tee boxes could be a bit more forgiving

and can play long especially on a windy day. All in all for what I payed it was a great course.

Fun round, great course, bunkers need work

A great layout that offers generous landing areas off most tees. Only disappointment is the bunkers. They have tiny pebbles in them and need more sand. They really don’t match the quality of the conditions you see at this course. We got a hot deal for $65, but if you are paying $100 for a round, you would expect the bunkers to be better than your local muni.

Still enjoyed my round and will come back. Hopefully some future investment is coming.

Nice and easy

Beautiful weather, friendly staff, nicely maintained.

The course itself is nice and fairly easy.

I was looking for a course where my daughter and I can get 18 in for some practice, Golf Now special at $39, can't beat that price for that area.

Most underrated course at Shanty

This course is not the most challenging. But the course conditions were the best and the green speeds were consistent from green to green. They were extremely fast. If you have a day to play and think the Legend or Cedar River I would give Schuss a try.
